I’m Samantha Seymour, a Mental Health Counsellor and woman living with Multiple Sclerosis. I deliver powerful talks that leave audiences inspired, energised, and ready to face life’s toughest challenges.
In 2020, my world was rocked by an MS diagnosis that stole my mobility, independence, and sense of identity. Out of that storm, I created the STAR Mindset: a simple, practical framework that helps people navigate grief, adversity, and change, and emerge stronger on the other side.
Diagnosis to Drummer is raw, real, and uplifting, showing audiences that no matter what life throws at you, resilience and reinvention are always possible.

When you book 'Diagnosis to Drummer', you can expect more than just a talk: you’ll get an experience that blends storytelling, psychology, and strategies.

Authenticity and Impact – I share my journey of living with MS with raw honesty, humour, and heart, creating a space that feels real, relatable, and inspiring.

The STAR Mindset – Audiences walk away with a simple, practical framework to navigate change, grief, and resilience in their own lives.

Interactive and Engaging – My talks aren’t lectures. I invite reflection, conversation, and connection, ensuring participants feel part of the journey.

Uplift and Empowerment – People leave not just motivated, but equipped with tools to face adversity and reinvent themselves with courage and confidence.

Whether it’s a school assembly, corporate wellbeing day, or community event, my sessions spark energy, hope, and resilience that lasts long after the event ends.
